In cities like Baltimore, Detroit and New York City, over 75 percent of once free-flowing streams have been buried to make way for development. But many of these streams still run underground. In Grand Rapids, Michigan, Coldbrook Creek rushes beneath the city, traversing human-made boundaries. Through a series of audio markers along the hidden creek’s path, visitors can listen to its sounds and hear buried local histories of environmental degradation, segregation, severance of communities, and the work of those continuing to strive for continuity.
